CHESTERTOWN, MD—The
Washington College women’s soccer team was back on campus safe and sound after
a bus fire en route to their first game of the season. The team was barely out
of Kent County, not yet to Church Hill on Maryland Route 213, when the bus taking
them to their afternoon game at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., caught
fire.
Team members seated at the
back of the bus first noticed smoke coming in from a vent near the bathroom.
They alerted the team coaches and the driver, who pulled over to the side of
the highway. Players say there was one panicky moment when the hydraulic
system that opened the coach’s doors failed, but the driver was able to open
the door manually. The team waited a safe distance from the bus and watched as
smoke turned to flame.
Local volunteer firefighters
arrived to put out the fire, and College vans transported the players back to
campus. There they met with a team of administrators and counselors that
included Athletic Director Bryan Matthews, two health center crisis counselors
and Director of Student Development Beth Anne Langrell. Although most of the
passengers were able to get their personal items off the bus, a handful of the
players did lose valuables that included electronics.
The bus was operated by
Gene’s Limousine Service, based in Federalsburg, Md. The College is
awaiting the results of the investigation into the fire being conducted by the
State Fire Marshal and the Maryland State Police.
Athletic Director Matthews
stressed that the first priority was the safety and wellbeing of the students.
He praised the quick and responsible actions of the players and coaches in
evacuating the bus safely and thanked the emergency first responders who came
to the scene. “It’s not the way we wanted to open the women’s soccer season,”
he said, “but we are certainly thankful that no one was injured.”
The game against
Randolph-Macon has been postponed without a make-up date. On Sunday, September
2, the Shorewomen travel to Allentown, Pa., to play Cedar Crest College. That
game begins at 2 p.m.
